Dear all,
I ran into a slight problem and could not find a straightforward solution on the forum. I am drawing multiple items on the screen for each trial, the horizontal positions are in a list and picked at random, however all the shape also need a vertical position and I could not see how to make a list with tuple, something like:
list = [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), etc]
At the moment I wrote an expression that checks all the possible horizontal positions and matches the correct vertical position to it, so that each picture has the correct combination of vertical position + horizontal position, I was wondering if there might be an easier way to combine these values? Any suggestions would be great,
Roelof
PS: Attached a simplified example that shows the basic structure, the actual experiment uses set sizes 5,7,9, with all different coordinates, at which point writing the expressions becomes more arduous

That's what I'm trying to do in this code, attempting to match this example. Thanks!
